Audio driver problem

Support Sound
1

Hi,
I have got a problem. Sound from my devices is distorted, especially low sounds. I think it might be a problem with my audio drivers. How to install them?

I ran a command:
sudo mhwd -i pci nonfree 0403

And the output was:
No config found for device: […] Multimedia controller nVidia Corporation

Can you help me?

Distorted audio is more likely to be due to excessive audio levels than a driver issue

Audio levels in PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) can be set to > 100%

Some audio applications (e.g. VLC) also allow audio levels > 100%

Distortion at low-frequencies might be caused by over-boosting audio levels in a graphic equaliser or other Digital Signal Processing

I helped me a lot - when I set down my volume to 85%, the problem disappeared. Thank you!
